Lady Gaga Breaks Her Silence On Splitting With Taylor Kinney

"Please root us on."

After news hit on Tuesday that the pair has broken up, Gaga took to Instagram to open up about the alleged split. She wrote, “Taylor and I have always believed we are soulmates. Just like all couples we have ups and downs, and we have been taking a break.”

A source close to the couple revealed, “[Gaga] started really writing and working on her album and he went back to work in Chicago. They kept going weeks without seeing each other.” The insider added, “It’s really sad and [Gaga’s] really torn up. They thought they’d be together forever. Distance was a big part of it.”

Adding fuel to the breakup fire, Lady Gaga was spotted in Mexico over the weekend without her engagement ring.
